Because of your successes using these best practices, he has asked you to present these methods in an upcoming professional development.

Part 1: Best Practices Presentation

For this benchmark assignment, create a 10-12 slide digital presentation of evidence-based best practices related to progress monitoring, communicating learning objectives, self-assessment, and providing effective feedback.

The presentation should include the following components:

• How you assist students in analyzing their work, assessment results, and keeping track of their own progress.
• How you provide effective, descriptive feedback to your students.

Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

Part 2: Summary

In 500-750 words summarize and examine the process of implementing your best practices in communicating objectives, progress monitoring, and providing effective feedback.

Answer the following in your summary:

• What is the value of analyzing performance data? Discuss the influence instructional planning has on gaps and patterns.
• How can the best practices included in your presentation inform instructional planning? How are learning gaps and patterns addressed?
• How does the classroom climate influence students’ confidence in learning independently and taking ownership of their academic progress?
• How does inquiry and the development of higher-order skills promote student engagement and motivation to learn?

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
